not hesite him as soon as possible (castellano, english, dutch,
german) [si vous preferez de communicer en francais soyez libre de me

p.s.:
perhaps everyone of us should be vigilant if at a milonga with live
music you see someone leaving with an instrument who's not part of
the musicians!

Dear bandoneonists,

Today a bandoneon has been stolen in the train between Brussels and
Rotterdam.
The bandoneon belongs to Rotterdam's Conservatorium teacher Victor
Hugo Villena.

We don't know for sure exactly at which point in the trip this
instrument was stolen; it was perhaps between Antwerpen and
Rosendaal.

Below this e-mail I'm listing the details we have about it, if
anyone hears of this instrument or is offered this instrument
anywhere please let me know as soon as possible.

I would also like to contact people in Belgium that might be in the
tango/bandoneon scene and that might be able to give any hints as to
where to look for this bandoneon. If anyone can send me any useful
contacts that would be great.

The bandoneon :

Alfred Arnold, negro nacarado (black, with full mother of pearl) A
bit of the metal engraving on one side is a bit loose and held
together with tape.
On the inside there's a date stamped (1933); there are also stamps
of
the argentine tuner Fabiani, and a name handwritten in the wood
between the soundboards : "Pocho Bernard"

Thanks a lot,
Santiago.-
